Her first act was stabbing a cop in the back with an ice pick. She was obsessed with Luke and married Edward. I can't remember but I think she tried to use Lila's ghost to do some spooking. Her last return was ridiculous and OTT. As bad as this one might seem, so far she's a bit more subdued and less OTT

I am riding on a "Scandal" high and thought why not give GH a glance to see where things are with the Jason/Sam situation and Todd and Tea arriving. Wow just wow, what a difference I have no idea what the heck to call what is happening on GH. Jason and Sam's storyline is just nasty and disrespectful on too many levels. Where are the strong female characters? Why are the points of views solely on the male perspective? This DID story is like a joke gone too long, it just stupid.

The only positive thing I can say is that GH seems to be a much better fit for John than OLTL was, I doubt that they will put him and Sam together but I wish they would.

There was that 'haunted house' week at the Q mansion and I can't remember if it also involved Heather staging a 'Lila haunting.' That was one of the only enjoyable parts of 2004 for me, because it was completely non-mob (and this was following 2003, which was the height of General Mobspital)--Heather was being craze, Tracy/Edward/Monica were featured, the teens were doing their thing, and it was the big Emily/Nikolas/Mary Bishop climax where Mary accidentally killed Sage Alcazar. I don't remember if Ned & Lois were there, too.

But Heather was so much crazier last time. In addition to everything that's already been said, she kidnapped catatonic Laura and poisoned and tortured Skye . . . all because of Luke.

I can't agree because the first thing he undid was Cole & Starr's happily ever after, which was symbolically really important with Cole & Starr finally righting the wrong of Todd/Marty. That's way too simplistic a statement and obvs. nothing rights rape, but I think people get my drift. And Todd's story continuing only fouls up the pretty perfectly bittersweet, but typical ending for him and Blair. And John McBain FINALLY got with Natalie (yuck) only to take off on her and his newfound son?! Doesn't sound like a proper ending to me.

I'm a Carlivati (and Valentini) fan, so I had high hopes for their GH, but it's been a mess. Everything that isn't OLTL-centric involves the usual mob suspects--Sonny, Carly, Jason, Sam, and throw in Kate/Connie and Johnny. Even under Garin Wolfe, I haven't understood Sonny & Kate 2.0. The Franco story didn't need to go there with GW and RC definitely didn't need to proceed with it to uselessly give Jason a twin and torture Sam with a rapebaby. I think the idea for JaSam prob. looks better on paper with them internally struggling to get past this in a way that respects their established characterizations, but it's not translating well on-screen--John & Sam feel so forced and Jason is coming off abhorrently. There's no room to see his POV because it's he's so unsympathetically portrayed and I don't think SB has the chops to pull this off--this isn't even a d-baggy Trevor St. John or Roger Howarth-type self-absorbed, dark portrayal, it's just callous indifference to Sam's tragedy. Johnny one anti-Sonny character, Guza never truly threw under the bus is becoming very mustache twirling, which was never his deal. And all the other stories (for the GH, ot OLTL char.'s) rotate very sporadically to the point where they're disjointed and the audience is left disconnected from them--the stories revolving around Dante/Lulu, Maxie, Steve/Olivia, Luke/Anna, and Patrick are just not given attention and big scenes occur out of context with no build-up or follow-through. Everyone else has just been supporting, like Liz and Alexis. It's ridiculous.

Alderson is seriously one of the worst actresses in daytime

Todd and Bootleg Blair seemed destined to be together. The writing is pretty predictable here. Get ready for Tardy

Admit it. Who else completely forgot about the Molly and TJ story?

TSJTodd can come on and take Tea away biggrin.png Either that or she will stay indefinetly laugh.png Which would you rather have?
